INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:

Let dry completely between painting steps.

1. Using a 2" chip brush, apply a layer of Gesso to the front of the words.

2. Apply Crackle Paste to the entire "&" symbol.

3. Randomly throughout the lettering, add Modeling Paste on top of drywall tape and carefully lift the tape to reveal the design while the paste is still wet.

4. Randomly add Modeling Paste with a spatula or palette knife. Use patterned cardboard to press a design into the wet modeling paste.

5. To the lower section of the letters, add Texture Sand Paste with a palette knife.

6. Allow everything to dry completely.

7. Paint the letters in Yellow Green Light, Quinacridone Magenta, and a mix of Quinacridone Magenta and Tinting Base. Use a cosmetic sponge to lightly dab the drywall circles.

8. Randomly add dots throughout the surface using Liquid Glass.

9. Apply Liquid Glass to a medium-sized area. While still wed, embed small beads of choice.

10. Use a sponge lightly dipped in tinting base to add white accents around and in each letter.
